It is what I said in my previous comment.

No, it isn’t. You said highest in China and then gave the average for China as your source.

To get the average for EU, you’d have to add up all the countries together. What you’re doing is cherry picking pars of Europe and comparing them to China’s average.

I’m literally taking the entire EU average from your source. I have been consistently and completely clear about that. Why are you lying so blatantly? Seriously, quote me cherry picking just part of the EU. I can sure as hell quote you cherry-picking specific parts of it.

You’re literally not doing that because the source is breaking Europe into emissions by country. Seems like you’re the one blatantly lying here. What I said repeatedly here is that the lowest emissions in EU countries are on par with China, however many of the northern EU countries are much higher. So, when you add it all up that’s a higher number. I don’t know if you’re lying intentionally or just incapable of understanding basic math here.

I already said that you can go to the chart view on the source and get the EU figure. It is in there if you take five seconds to look.

and when you do that you see that EU has significantly higher per capita consumption put together which is what I have been saying here all along

Which does not address the fact that consumption-based emissions, the actual damage being done to the environment, do not even have that gap. So now that we’ve established that I was not actually lying, care to address any of that?

You’ve been continuously claiming that EU has per capita emissions on part with China. This is false.

Meanwhile, the elephant in the room is that Europe has had far higher consumption-based emissions historically with China catching up only recently as the standard of living in China started to increase. So, if we’re talking about actual cumulative damage done, Europe bears far greater responsibility.

Once again, China has a clear plan for phasing out fossils and it has been consistently ahead of schedule in doing so. Same cannot be said for Europe.

Then source that. I gave you a source, the same website you used first, and it shows exactly what I said. Here it is again, just to be clear. Energy consumption is not the same as emissions.

Meanwhile, the elephant in the room is that Europe has had far higher consumption-based emissions historically

I’ve never argued Europe’s higher historic emissions, but no matter who has done more historically we still all need to stop producing so much pollution now. China emitting less historically will not save us if it produces more in future.

China has a clear plan for phasing out fossils and it has been consistently ahead of schedule in doing so. Same cannot be said for Europe.

And like I said, I hope it works, but the actual numbers right now are that China now produces as much as Europe and if current trends continue it will be producing more. If Europe has no plan and China has such a great one, why are the outcomes today the same?
